On Jan. 1 my wife and I went for a walk and while we were near Beacon Hill park and cook st. we spotted a bald eagle up in the tree. It was nice to see one sitting there just checking everything out. It was there for about 20 min that we were there and seemed in no hurry to leave. It had a good vision of the shoreline so Im sure it was checking for food.
Now forward to today Jan 12. we were driving by the area and as I turned onto Cook st. from Dallas rd I commented to my wife if her bird was there. An yes she exclaimed it was. I got out and took this picture of it. Same place and enjoying the view too.
So if your driving or walking by Dallas rd and Cook st. look up into the Oak tree there and tell me if you see the eagle or not. please comment and let everyone that reads this blog know if its there.
Ok till next time
If any of you watched tonights BCS college football game between Oklahoma and Florida you would see the Florida QB wearing eyeblacks with the scripture John 3:16. He had John on one eyeblack then 3:16 on the other. He has in previous games Had Phil 4:13 . I will put links below so you can read these.
Another player had I luv U Mom, and ive seen lots of teams logos on them.
The question is what would you put on it and why.
As for Tim Teb0w the QB well he is a very devout Christian. He really believes in the Christ. He lives his way on the field and off of it with this belief. If you listen to the announcers you will get this feeling too. I heard them mention two things that tell me he walks the walk.
First they said that if you spend 5 min with him you will be a better person for that. Wow thats something for a 21 yr old young man.
The second thing they said was he has gone to a lot of mission works during his off time in the Phillipines and gone to prisons and orphaneges and schools to help out the disadvantaged.
So he is putting on what he believes and I believe that he believes
So what would you put on if you were going to wear eyeblacks in a sporting event. Gets you thinking. what would signify your life?
ok till next time. I believe
John 3:16
Phil 4:13

Well here is a new one for me. I just ran into this one working for the post office. It is new stamps from Great Britian. On the right you see two stamps with boxes to tick off your feeling. I was wondering who was supposed to tick them off. They were blank but maybe the top one is for the sender. and the bottom is for the mailman. I could imagine ticking off sorry if it is late getting there, or oops if it got misdelivered. Any way an interesting twist on the stamp. What will they come up with next.
Ok till next time

A local organizer helped get them enough equiptment to use to play and win in the semi-final game. Then fire fighters got their own equiptment to them in time for the final. Wow what an experience for 9-10 yr olds from China while in another foriegn country and culture. A feel good story for this early in the year. If you want to read more here is the link to the story.

Well In Oak Bay on New years day around 4am a barge/freighter lost power and ran ashore. It was right inbetween trial Island and Oak bay . right at the south end of Oak Bay golf course. We saw it on the news today and when we went out for a nice New Years walk we decided to check it out. Yes we were able to get close to see it but a few houses stopped us from getting two close. It came with in about 30 yds of one house and must have been a spectacular view if someone was looking out their window. Well a nice day today in Victoria , but just west in Langford we woke up to another couple of inches of wet snow. Ok enough.
Well all the best in the new year and hope it works out ok getting that barge off the rocks. I think they were hoping to get it off with a higher tide.
ok bye
